Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis (Bcbva) causes anthrax-like disease in animals, particularly in the non-human primates and great apes of West and Central Africa. Genomic analyses revealed Bcbva as a member of the B. cereus species that carries two plasmids, pBCXO1 and pBCXO2, which have high sequence homology to the B.

- * The study utilizes a generative AI model called Orion to analyze blood samples from 1,050 individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and matched controls, focusing on orphan non-coding RNAs.
- * Orion significantly outperforms traditional methods, achieving 94% sensitivity and 87% specificity in cancer detection, and shows over 30% higher sensitivity on validation datasets compared to other approaches.
Chromate has been shown to dysregulate epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, leading to changes in gene expression and genomic instability. However, most in vitro studies are limited to short incubation periods, although chronic exposure may be more relevant for both environmental and occupational exposure. In this study, human adenocarcinoma A549 cells were treated with 1, 2 or 5 µM chromate for 24 h and compared with incubations with 0.

- - Elk were tested for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2, but they did not shed the virus and only showed minimal immune responses.
- - In contrast, mule deer not only shed and transmitted the virus but also showed strong immune responses.
- - The findings suggest that mule deer might be significant in the spread of SARS-CoV-2, while elk appear to be less of a concern.
